    The good – ldu, Marshall, laird
    The bad – bruhn, dale
    This weeks trades
    Dale to Daicos
    Bruhn to zieball?
    TU – good trades
    TD – better options

  2. Probably overthinking this one too much, however will Finn Callaghan still make the money we need?

    Tu; Hold

    1. Cally is tricky.

      Copped a sublax early on the same shoulder he missed all of last year with. I was surprised he didn’t go straight off and we were all left with a 19. Battled through it and basically played injured with one arm, even with us bamboozling the Giants. Such a great kid. Role as a winger in a high accu./outside ball generating side good as well.

      As shitty as it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if a) that shoulder pops or b) he gets put on ice.

      Considering a pre-emptive trade, as much as I like him

  3. Thinking Doch to Daicos, Darcy to English and Fyfe to Sheezel. Also have the option to move Day to Daicos but he’s proved he could earn me some cash.

    TU: Keep Doch
    TD: Boot him

      1. Hey,Dane. I’m looking at similar trades in that I want N daicos in at nearly any cost and have the Darcy problem… I also have Day and think I’ll hold him. Darcy is against WC next week and hopefully the last Q this week reminded JL that he is a ruckman not a forward, hence my inclination to hold another week. Sheezel is a must Imho . Isn’t the old golden rule never sideways trade a premo? I would hold Doch and just find another way to get Daicos in..

    1. Yep, (pending selections of course) but at this stage I am going
      Doch, Darcy & Chesser to Daicos, English & Long plus $88k
      Rules are made to be broken – may be a dumb move but only time will tell.

  4. What to do with Jack Macrae? He’s been Bevo’d with his CBA attendance under 50% against the Saints.

    TU: He has to go, you can’t trust Bevo
    TD: Hold tight and hope Bevo comes to his senses

    1. Dogs CBAs v Saints:

      Libba 20, Tingles 19, Bont 17, Daniel 13, Macrae 9, Smith 7.

      Yeah, fuck that. Cya later.

      Dogs also on the decline for mine. Poorly managed.

    1. Similar to above. Going to back a wholesale premo re-work for you, Slats. Lol.

      Darcy has to go, yes. Cannot co-exist with Jackson. The fact he was played forward was absolutely galling. Expect them to return to Darcy as #1 but even then Jackson will have a third of the ruck economy.

      Tingles and Witts (actually most rucks really) also smoking him.

      Assuming you have RoMo, your options are:

      – Tingles: R1 in full flight, ball out
      – Witts: for consistency, second to only Tingles
      – Cameron: value option, gives you 100k to apportion to make up the difference between him and Tingles/Witts

      9

      1
        1. Would just go RoMo & D. Cameron, Dane.

          Value, better scorers.

          Don’t tell me you’ve already got both with D. Cameron FWD lol?

          If that’s the case and you need to replace Darcy. Hmm.

          I’d find 20k and get him to Tingles. Any rookies you can drop to Long or Chandler and bank some cash?

          1. I do have D Cameron forward, yep haha. For now I’ve shifted him to Ruck, moved Taranto to FWD, and effectively turned Darcy into LDU.

            1. Oh, yeah. That’s great.

              Nice work on having D. Cameron selected in the first place and then, yep, those DPP moves are legit sensational.

              Imagine your team looks sexy now lol.

      1. I am going Darcy > Cameron (+100k) and using money to fund Chesser > McKenna and Greene > Sheezel.

        Pending teams, now my problems are Flanders and Ratagoulea, maybe Callaghan but the first two are now benched so will be out in a week or 2 pending better options (S.Ryan, Bytel, Bowes)

  5. I am embarrassed to ask as I like to back my selections in and nottrade sideways, but is Ridely to Daicos smart?

    TU: Use a trade
    TD: Save the trade and get Daicos later

  6. Think I might have to use my 2nd boost of the season which is very unfortunate but took some risks and copped some injuries.

    Steele, Bruhn, Flanders > LDU, Chandler and tossing up who for my 3rd pick.

    TU: Cox
    TD: Ziebell

    Haven’t watched either Freo games so dunno how good he has looked but those scores are hard to look past.

    27
      1. Theres rumours flying around insiders at Freo that he might be moved forward full time next week -i’d watch one more week if you could

  7. Can anyone tell me what happened to ridley today? Just a bad day or did he have to play more accountable when BZT got injured? Or did he play out the game? I didn’t watch it. Cheers.

    I need daicos in asap and looking to trade aggressively to get him. Ridley and doch are on notice. Also got the headache of Callaghan (don’t like his role), chesser and Sean darcy.

    1. He played on Casboult, Mav.

      As much as everyone wanted, he is NOT in a free, unaccountable intercept role. That is just never going to happen again. Dons just don’t have proper key defensive stocks.

      BZT went down late. If he’s out LT then Ridley is absolutely screwed. Case to trade him either way.

      1. Thanks GD.
        Looks like I’m making the trades
        Ridley -> daicos
        Darcy -> DCam

        The third will be a rookie correction.
        Chesser -> one of chandler, Holland’s or mckenna

        7

    2. Role was not there at all plus Ridley was not running around demanding the ball, everything went through Redman and McGrath. IMO way too many mouths to feed down in the bombers backline. I will be sideways trading Ridley for Naicos.

  8. People will think I am crazy but there is method in my madness.
    Out – Laird, Gawn and Ratagulea
    In – Daicos, English and Zeibell.
    Laird is not the problem but getting a better F6 than Ratagulea, Green and Caminiti is a must.
    Overall it benefits my squad.
    Cue the thumbs down….

    29
    1. Ooof, Shaggi.

      I get it but surely there’s a better way of improving your F6 (which, yes, HAS to change).

      How about:

      Gawn -> RoMo/Cameron
      Rat -> Ziebell

      Can you swing that? I get the appeal of Tingles, he looks money, but Laird looks to be back to M1.

      1. Slight change of plans
        Out – Docherty, Gawn & F Green
        In – Daicos, Nank the Tank & Zeibell
        Hopefully not so many thumbs down.
        Essentially choosing whether to have Docherty or Laird

        1

        14
  9. At this stage for R3 –
    OUT : S Darcy, Flanders & Callaghan
    IN : D Cameron, N Daicos, & Caminiti (can only afford a rookie under $107K)

    Not putting up with Darcy’s ruck rubbish, Callaghan’s shoulder a worry, and Flanders doing nothing. Will probably change my mind – as too many players under performing, especially those that were “premium” – Doc, Neale, Rozee. Maybe I should find a way to have multiple Sheezels…..

    TU : Good trades
    TD : Back to the drawing board.

    15

  10. I want Daicos in. Do I:

    TU: Ridley to Daicos sideways trade
    TD: Bazlenka to Worpel & Chesser to Daicos

    Bazlenka was a risk that looks like it’s not paying off. Especially with my mid being Macrae M1 Baz M2… I can bring in worp and run 4 premos in def if I keep Ridley – but my mid is then thin – Macrae, Green, Setter, Hopper, Worpel, Calla, Ashcroft, Mackenzie

    Any thoughts are appreciated

    21
    1. Gotta then use that 400k~ for a premo. Can’t have it sitting there.

      Gawn -> Cameron
      Macrae -> Setters
      Rookie -> 500k~ premo

      Also merit to just sidewaysing Macrae to a proper premo.

      Up to you.

  11. Daicos, Daicos, Daicos. What to do.

    Kid is obviously insane. My worry is (and was through the whole pre-season) that with performances like that the tags will come. Has Dons, Saints and Lions in the next month and I can see them them all tagging. Caldwell, Windhager, Berry.

    He burnt Jones on Saturday, yes, but he was never going to keep up.

    Argh. Genuinely worry about tags but season long he’ll probably have enough unencumbered outings to balance it out? Seems an easy switch for Cumming…

    Setterfield also messing with my head. No clear avenue to get him in but was ultra impressive today in a great role.

    8

    0
    1. Geez, good luck to Caldwell and Berry chasing him around!
      I am a non-owner, and was worried about the tags too but maybe teams can’t effectively tag him? He takes kick outs, can play anywhere, they try and get it to him at all costs.
      I’m biting the bullet I think

      7

      1. Bullshit just stick with him follow him when he kicks in the players in r1 and r2 gave him way to much space

    2. Completely understandable GD, I was muttering foul words to myself every time I checked the scores and saw Daicos’ score growing. All preseason I said to myself there’s no way teams will just let him go about his business unattended but here we are round 2 and I don’t see how anyone can stop him.

      If there’s no glaring issues with the team (Darcy, Macrae, Steele) then I would argue hold firm and eventually bring him in once it’s upgrade season BUT a Cummings swap does look appealing. I like Cummings purely because GWS seem to have stagnated which means a lot of footy will be going his way. However, despite the potential risk of a tag, by seasons end which one of Daicos or Cummings would you predict to end up top 6 … it’s not Cummings. Do the trade and enjoy watching him rack them up – it’s only a matter of time before he hits the 200.

      On Setterfield, as a Bombers supporter it’s been a treat to watch the trio of Merrett, Parish and Setters go to work. My concern is with Stringer coming back in next week, there might be a reduction of CBA’s for Setters, albeit you’d think with the Bombers’ forward injury woes Jake would spend more time down there.

      What does your trades look like if you bring in Setters/Daicos?

      6

      1. Thanks, LG.

        Completely agree re expecting teams not to let Daicos do as he pleases but here we are.

        Daicos for Cumming would be a direct swap but no real path for Setterfield.

        It would have to be Cally up (which I’m not opposed to after that shoulder) but don’t have 100k I can carve out. Neale -> LDU would get it done but LDU with a tough upcoming fixture. Witts -> D. Cameron would also swing it but really don’t like dropping premos down just for the 100k.

        7

        0
        1. Agreed, I’m not liking those trades just to bring Setters in. As we seen with Laird this week, we chose the premos for a reason – so stick with them. Witts/Neale’s floors are 100 and you’ll take that every time. Like many of us, I think we’ll have to accept that we missed one and move on. Do the Daicos sideways trade and enjoy the rest of the week.

      2. Im not sure Stringer comes back that quick. He’s not fit. A Dangerfield type “pre season” would be better for him and the bombers long term.

        Get Setters in, he’s not going from the midfield any time soon

        2

        0
    3. GD I’m thinking that Setterfield is this year’s Brodie. If he Tons up again next week you’ll need to find another 75k to get him in, Nick will probably cost you 40k. if you wait a week on him, you get one more week to see if he’s tagable.

  12. made my first two trades and have 300k sitting in the bank. Nobody else that I want to trade, but want ziebell in, here are my current trades;

    Steele > LDU
    Darcy > Cameron

    TU:trade chesser >ziebell
    TD: leave it at 2 trades.

    31

  13. I’m already going Darcy and Bruhn OUT for Cameron and Ziebell. I’m also considering using a boost to go Ridley OUT for Daicos. I know it’s a sideways swap, but he seems like he can’t co exist with Redman in the same backline, plus Daicos seems to be not suffering from second-year blues like I feared he would.
    I hoping these will be the last trades I’ll be making for a week or two.

    TU: Yes/Daicos is a must have
    TD: No/Give Ridley another chance

    17

  14. Two possible trade scenarios for me …

    T/U
    Callaghan, Bruhn and Ratugolea > Daicos, Chandler and Caminiti

    T/D
    Bruhn and Ratugolea > Zieball and Chandler

    Basically, the first trade will mean I’m fielding an additional forward rookie but it’S not like Bruhn was scoring more than a rookie anyways. Second trade maintains my deep forward line however it also means I’m still fielding 4 rookies down back.

    3

    1
  15. TU – 1 trade bruhn to zieball
    TD – 2 trades philipou to Hollands, bruhn to cameron.

    Need an extra 6k to get Cameron from bruhn that is why the extra trade is needed.

    10

    1
    1. Sorry scratch that not down to Hollands that doesn’t give enough dosh. But will be a rookie downgrade to make the 6k cash for Cameron. Basically asking
      TU – 1 trade bruhn to ziebell
      TD – 2 trades one downgrade rookie, then bruhn to Cameron

        1. Clark’s a dud. Doesn’t matter.

          Wouldn’t have the tank for full time MID anyway.

          5 CBAs v Dogs, 69% TOG, negligible contribution.

  16. One injury. Two corrections. Everything else is looking swell.

    Steele > LDU
    Darcy > English
    Ridley > Daicos

    I need one more week to ascertain whether Macrae has been Bevo’d beyond repair.

    5

    3
  17. Thinking

    Cunnington – Chandler
    Brodie – LDU
    Chesser – Lever

    Yay or Nay?

    Are Melbourne waiting on defenders to come back or is Levers role pretty solid?

    0

    4
    1. Yeah, May would be the main one. Comes back this week.

      Definitely comes back and takes some of that distribution economy. Lever been going well but sort of one you’d have had to have started to get value from.

  18. 3 for me this week, after 1 last to get a non playing forward to loophole Oliver’s VC this week.

    So, Gawn to Darcy Cameron, Fyfe to Sheezel then Darryl McDowell-White to Setterfield. leaves 32 trades and 59K.

    I can’t swing a trade to get Laird or LDU yet but gives me 3,3,2,4 premos on each line. And typically there’s more midfield premos so plenty of options that the forwards don’t tend to present.

  19. Hi all, not been the ideal start to the year!
    Thinking Darcy to Cameron, Bruhn to Worpel Cole to Naicos.
    Have a Fwd line of Dunks, Cogs,Rozee,Taranto,Gulden,Sheezel. With Tracc to come forward and Sheezel back after r6. Point is Cameron pure Ruck instead of r/fwd…
    Thoughts appreciated.

  20. Refuse to use a boost, GD helped me settle on these two.

    Richards -> LDU (Constable from bench to D6)

    The Fake (Sean) Darcy -> to the real
    Darcy (Cameron)

  21. Interesting comments as most of the findings remain the same after 2 weeks. Still a small sample size but it’s the last chance to make the changes before the price jump.
    Hoping you guys can help out.
    Tossed and turned as Id like ldu, ziebel and mckenna but there is only so much we can have.
    Decided on
    Chandler Cameron and ndaicos for McRae Callahan and Flanders.
    What you guys think?

    1
  22. Draper to D Cameron (should have stuck with Cameron when I first made my lineup)

    Do we need to trade chesser?

    What to do with my mids? Highest average of 97.5 (mids are Neale, Trac, crouch, Warner & Maxy Holmes)

  23. Ridley – Daicos

    S Darcy – D Cameron

    Could then go L Jones to Setterfield via dpp, or bank 160k cash

    TU: make the trade

    TD: keep the cash

    10

    1
  24. is it worth hanging onto grundy? i have Cameron in the FWD line i can switch in and replace with maybe Chandler? allows me then to get Daicos or LDU

    TU – hang on to him
    TD – bury him

  25. Why is everyone so keen on Darcy CAmeron all of a sudden? Yes hes scored well but Cox is still in the team.
    TU Witts
    TD Cameron

    9

    0
    1. Because he’s scored well with Cox in the team so the preseason think on him was wrong.

      Also he’s the only relevant R/F in the game and an underpriced Premo. Which means more cash to fix other lines before price changes fix that

      10

      1
  26. Thinking of using the boost this week. No injuries (except maybe Callaghan), 35 trades left, and rest of the team doing okay (ranked 3000ish). What are your thoughts on this?

    Out: L Jones, Callaghan, and Flanders
    In: Daicos, Chandler, and Cole (all will be on-field)

    TU: Yep, get rid of those filthy midpricers
    TD: Save the trades, those fellas will still earn enough and score more on field than the other three combined.

    Thanks!

  27. Love your work guys…

    2 options for me this week;

    Doc, Finny, Rat to Daicos, Setters, Chandler

    (Or)

    Young, Finny, Rat to Daicos Setters, Chandler

    Don’t have LDU or Ziebell so happy would welcome alternatives

    Cheers

    Jones to LDU? Constable is in my mid I can just rotate and be can play defence.

  29. Is Setterfield a “must have” in a midfield that is currently Laird, Oliver, Bont, Miller, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Callaghan (Mackenzie, Baker, Davey) ? I don’t expect him to be a keeper but he’s looking like a solid stepping stone.

    I can bring in Setterfield for any of the last 4 names, which means Ashcroft M9

    TU: Get Setterfield
    TD: No need

    1

    9
    1. Your midfield is stacked, I’d think that Mackenzie will be a fine M8 for some time but could be worth looking at Callaghan to someone else to shore up one of your other lines. Ziebell could be worth or if you need a defender, either Bowes or Crozier could score well and improve that line while being useful stepping stones

      0

      0
      1. Cheers Johnno, did Fyfe to Ziebell last round but Bowes is one I’ll be looking at. Possibly for Callaghan. Also I realised I go got a typo, if I get Setterfield it’s actually Ashcroft at M8 onfield, not M9.

  30. Definitely doing 3 trades this week .

    Out Gawn, Hunter Clark, Rookie correction.

    Gawn > Cameron is locked an loaded

    So choosing between

    TU Upgrade Clark to a 500-550 premo (don’t have enough for LDU) and rookie correct at the rookie price point

    TD sideswap Clark to another 250k -350k midpricer that looks good (already have setterfield) and upgrade a 123k rookie to a 250k-350k midpricer.

    TU seems safer, TD seems riskier but with far more upside

    2

    1. What rookies will you have at M8 or F6 otherwise? I’d probably look at what gets the worse player off field

  33. Yay for me picking Ridley over Daicos an hour before Round 1…if I sideways Ridley to Daicos, I can’t do anything else, but if I go for Docherty to Daicos, I can bring in McKenna/Chandler for Chesser/Greene somehow.

    DEF
    S. Docherty, J. Dawson, J. Ridley, R. Ginbey, D. Wilmot, C. Constable (C. Chesser, L. Cowan)

    3
    1. Third Option (which I am currently liking)
      Out: S Darcy, Bruhn, Ridley
      In: Diacos, English, Worpel

      This option gives no rookie improvement but corrects some early Prem and mid price selections

      1

  35. TU:
    Bruhn, Jones, Chesser > Ziebell, Mckenna, Ned long
    TD:
    Bruhn, Doch, Callaghan > Ziebell, brennan cox, setterfield,

    First one is more standard and the one ive been thinking of for a while but kinda like the value in the second one. Not sure if callaghan is injured i may be forced to do it

  36. Hey guys – contemplating the following scenario but will mean I end up with $125k spare cash in the bank.

    Trade OUT – Sean Darcy, Steele & Chesser
    Trade IN – Setterfield, Darcy Cameron & Ziebell

    TU: Do it and bank that money for a trade in the next couple of weeks
    TD: Don’t – use that extra money now!

    11

    0
    1. Seems like a great trade and nothing wrong having that much in the bank for upgrades later. You are getting rid of an underperforming premo ruck, a possible medium term injured player and a rookie who will probably be dropped for 3 guys that are scoring well and scoring above their price

      1

      0
  37. Just going to do this and then not think about it for the rest of the week. At the moment, more thought seem to lead to worse decisions!

    OUT: Steele, Bytel and Ratugolea
    IN: Daicos, LDU and Chandler

    Although if a miracle occurs and Bytel is named to play this week…

    Also, to the Ridley owners (of which I am one) – jump off if you can. He looked terrible against the Suns in terms of role and scoring potential. I wish I could find a way to get rid of him!

  38. I don’t have either ziebell or setterfield, the only way I would be able to get either in would be through trading out Callaghan however I also need to free up funds through downgrading a premo.. doesn’t sound ideal however interested in peoples thoughts.

    First trade locked in;
    Ratugolea > Chandler

    Questioning the following:

    Rozee > Gulden (Frees up funds for below)
    Callaghan > Ziebell

    Tu; Go for it
    Td; Absolutely not!!

  39. Darcy –> Cameron
    Macrae –> LDU
    Esava (M7) –> Ziebell

    OR
    Ridley –> Daicos
    Callaghan –> Ziebell
    Esava –> Caminti

  40. eed some advice guys,

    I have Darcy, Ridley & Macrae, do I trade them all?

    My initial thoughts were to trade them for English, Daicos & another premo mid, but unsure who (can afford anyone bar Laird).

    My side is currently:

    DEF: Brayshaw, Ridley, Ginbey, McKenna, Wilmot, Constable (Chesser, Cowan)

    MID: Oliver, Miller, Macrae, LDU, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Mackenzie (Phillipou, Hollands, Baker)

    RUCK: Darcy, Marshall (Madden)

    FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Taranto, Gulden, Sheezel, Davey (Greene, Caminiti)

    Any advice welcome!

    Cheers

  41. Would you rather:

    TU: Darcy > English
    TD: Darcy > Cameron

    I’m not convinced that DC can maintain this pace all year long. Happy to hear other thoughts.

  42. Resetting some early poor choices…..

    Chesser > Setterfield
    Darcy > Cameron
    Bruhn > Chandler

    Leaves $97.5k ITB to look at a possible upgrade next week. Daicos, Davies-Uniacke, Ziebell not options at the moment and already have Sheezel.

    TU; Do it
    TD; Do something else

    Thanks in advance!

      1. Chester’s not the worst loop option out there.

        Don’t think keeping him hurts you much if every other rookie is rock solid

  43. I have avoided most of the carnage with injuries so far (Hopper is a wait and see but have coverage in Constable or Baker) so only correction trades. I also have a bit of a war chest going into this round and have seen enough of Naicos and Sheez to bring them in with Chesser and Bruhn going out. Will probably do a boost and look at a third trade.

    TU: Flanders to Ziebel
    TD: Macrae to LDU (with Simpkin out and possible Macginess tag incoming) also means fielding Flanders or a rookie at F6

  44. I’m looking to commit a cardinal son of premo sidewaysing Neale. Really want to capitalise on LDUs current price

    Looking to use boost this week & trade as follows:

    Neale —> LDU
    Grundy —> Cameron
    Bruhn —> Ziebell

    Leaves me with $228,100 in the bank for future moves. I could alternatively choose English over Cameron but think I’d rather the extra cash to upgrade my defence soon

  45. I didn’t do any trades last week, and the only on-field change in plan on making is Young to Daicos. I’m missing a couple of the cash cows so
    TU – Use Trade Boost to fix up some of my rookies.
    TD – Just use the 2 trades.

  46. Doing Bruhn, Jones > Ziebell, Mckenna already
    For 3rd trade
    TU:
    Chesser > Long (Hollands on field)
    TD:
    Chesser > Chandler through gulden dpp (chandler on field)

    So would rather chandler but it means i have to field him and have hollands at M9. If i get long means hollands can stay at M8 and long is on the bench but i think chandler will have better cash gen

  47. Already planning to bring in LDU and Naicos for Steele and Liam Jones.
    Is it also worth using a boost to bring in Chandler for Ratugolea (current F7/R3 swing)

    TU: Do it
    TD: Save the boost and trade

  48. Should we be worried about ziebells scoring if hall comes back? Hall just posted a 120 in the vfl this weekend, could be up for selection. Is it something we should consider when picking ziebell this week or in future?
    TU – yes could hurt his scoring
    TD – nope he will keep doing his thing

  49. Hi all,
    I need to trade Gawn, Callaghan is my weak point in the kids and really want to get N Daicos

    What are peoples thoughts on this
    TU: Ridley -> Daicos
    Callaghan -> Setterfield
    Gawn -> Witts
    TD: Docherty -> Daicos
    Callaghan -> LDU
    Gawn -> D. Cameron

  50. Am I the only one who is looking to use two boosts in the first two rounds? Haha.

    Stewart & Steele are forced unavoidable injury trades (2) plus Rookie Corrections and underperforners like Macrae (635k) with 85 pts, 9 CBAs….

    TU: Trade Macrae to LDU/Gulden type, bank some cash. (6 trades used in first two rounds haha!)

    TD: Just keep Macrae for now, hope his CBAs drastically improve. (5 trades in first two rounds haha!)

  53. Thinking 2 corrections in Bruhn+Laurie > Setterfield+Chandler.

  54. Corrective trade time:

    Trade #2 is Bruhn to Ziegull. Not negotiable but need approx $50k.

    Big question mark over S.Darcy’s role. Rozee not bad but underwhelming. Ratugolea underwhelming.

    Three options:

    TU Darcy to Cameron (ruc), keep Rozee
    TD Rozee to Cameron (fwd), keep Darcy

    Or see below for Ratugolea to Chandler or long

    9

    1
    1. TU Ratugolea to rookie, keep Darcy/Rozee, miss out on Cameron
      TD keep Ratugolea, miss Long/Chandler

      Thanks coaches. Hope I didn’t make that too complicated!

      5

      1
    2. Rozee looked pretty good in a poor port performance. Prefer to keep your premos if u can and RAT may keep his position but will be a slow burn with these scores. RAT to chandler best choice in my opinion

  55. advice needed

    tu: Doc Bruhn Callaghan -> Daicos Gulden Chandler

    td: Bruhn Callaghan Chesser -> Setterfield Phillipou Chandler

    although trading doc could backfire think its justified by the Bruhn to Gulden upgrade

  56. I have 88k ITB
    Getting rid of:
    Bruhn, Fyfe and Hopper to get Daicos, Setterfield and Sheezal and wouldn’t you know it, I’m 6k short! So patience has to prevail.
    This week
    Out Bruhn, Fyfe
    In Setterfield,Sheezal
    Leaves me with 164.k ITB
    Next week
    Out Hopper, and one of Constable, Wilmot , Uwland
    In Daicos and possibly Caminiti.
    TU. Good plan
    TD Have a rethink

  57. TU:
    Callaghan- worpel
    Chesser – chandler
    Darcy – Cameron

    TD:
    Ridley – daicos
    Chesser – chandler
    Darcy – Cameron

    Rate daicos as a must but feel the Callaghan too worpel move is crucial especially after callaghan has hurt his shoulder.. still love your thoughts though.

    1. 3rd option is
      TU/TD:
      Callaghan – worpel
      Darcy – Cameron
      Ridley – daicos

      Just means I miss chesser – chandler.
      All correctional but at the same time feel a bit sideways.. worpel will be another trade down the track and banking on Cameron being a keeper at R2 or F6/7.

  58. Used my first boost. 2x corrections that free up money for a big upgrade.

    Macrae > LDU
    Darcy > Cameron
    Chesser > Daicos

    TU: Good shit

  59. Happy to burn through trades prior to price rise with the intention of sitting on my hands for a couple weeks and cash generate.

    Ridley -> Naicos
    Chesser -> Chandler
    McVee -> McKenna

    Leaves me $100k in the bank.

    I could go to Ziebell / Bowes but don’t like the hawks matchup for Ziebell & get another week to watch bowes and upgrade then anyway before price rise.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

  63. Team structure is looking very solid, looking at making a correctional rookie trade;
    Ratugolea > Chandler

    However, is ziebell a must trade in this week?

    What if it requires you to use 2 trades to get him in? This will activate trade boost to get him in as I am already making another trade for chandler..

    Tu; Use the boost & get ziebell
    Td; Hold off & save the trades

  64. Didn’t pull the trigger on Fyfe and Jones to Daicos and Chandler last week so looking to swing it this week except dragging in either Setterfield or Ziebell into my side as well.

    This is what it looks like right now, with a little extra cash to afford Chandler if I go with Setterfield.

    Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Setterfield, Daicos & K Chandler

    OR

    Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Ziebell, Daicos & N Long

    T/U: Option 1

  66. TU – Chesser + Phillipou > McKenna + Chandler
    TD –

    Already set on Young to Daicos, and thinking I want to get McKenna and Chandler this week.

    Other cows up for consideration are combinations of

    Cowan
    Mackenzie
    Davey Jr
    Greene
    Long

      1. Greene is probably the most dispensable of that group but I’m not sure any absolutely have to go for Chandler. Just don’t think it’ll be completely worth a trade but Chesser to McKenna is a great move

        0

        0
  67. Out S Darcy , C Rozee, F Callaghan (if injured) or Greene
    In D Cameron , LD Uniacke, Sheezle

    Substituting Coniglio into forward line

    TU Go for it

    1. I’ve got Macrae and I’m holding him with the hope that Bevo realises something needs to change for them to start winning again. I’d also keep Neale but I seem a lot more cautious at the moment than most of this site

    1. All 3 are cash cows and all 3 will make money. Wait until they make around around $130k or so or it is a waste of a trade.

  69. I know his money is going to tank but is Sean Darcy a trade? Takes on West coast with Nic Nat not playing so “should” towel up the substitute rucks they have? Or is he under an injury cloud?
    TU Darcy to bounce back with a 110+
    TD kick that bum to the curb

    1. Freo will come to their senses and return him to #1 ruck and the Eagles are a sensational ruck opponent. We made Flynn look like Dean Cox for four quarters yesterday.

      All that said, trading him to Tingles is a huge net on OA points as he’s R1 when in full flight and dropping him down to D. Cameron and then parlaying that 100k into something lit is banging.

      Think those propositions are better than just holding him for one potential good score. The spectre of Jackson stealing his ruck economy will loom over him for the rest of the season.

      1. Thanks GD
        This year has me scrambling. Flanders, Bruhn, Darcy….just a muppet factory I seem to have created. Plenty of time to bounce back but trades are burning fast! Hope you are fairing better than me!

  78. Looking to bring in zeibell but the only way I can afford is by downgrading one of my premiums to free up funds.. is it worth it?

    Rozee > Gulden;
    This allows me to afford Zeibell

    And no I can’t downgrade any other rookies as it won’t be enough $$
    Already going ratugolea > chandler btw.

    Tu or Td

  80. Got 5 on the chopping block, can’t decide who goes…..
    Gawn – definitely, probably to Cameron
    Chesser – looks like he’s about to be dropped but not much cash back in the pot
    Fyfe – adds cash to the pot, but won’t lose money for another round, and might even miss another
    Flanders – might make a bit of money maybe keep an extra week?
    Rat – same as Flanders but touch and go

    My current thoughts of which 3 go this week are:
    TU: Gawn, Flanders, Fyfe
    TD: Gawn, Flanders, Rat
    Comment: Another option

    This will then lead into the decision making of who to get – one for another day

    Thanks team!!

  81. Time to Boost.

    I should of done it last week, so Bruhn to Ziebell is set. (I just did Flanders to Sheezel. )

    Setterfield looks like a must get, so he comes in for Callahan as I’m a little worried about those shoulders.

    I need some funds.. so L. Jones (BE 48 ) comes out for Chandler (BE -94 ) via Dpp Magic.

    Leaves me with $57K to deal with Darcy ( and maybe get Daicos ) next week.

    To Re-cap

    l.Jones – Chandler
    Callaghan – Setterfield
    Bruhn – Ziebell

    Good trades ?
